Mercury l4 vs mercury xr2 v6 weight

**killerpirate** · 11-20-2020, 01:23 PM

Hi!

Does anyone know the specific weight of their mercury xr2? If i google it i come to 350lbs (mentioned on sandf)
But if i search for the 115 hp 4 cyl 2 stroke it also says 350lbs (158kg)

Is the weight of the xr2 the same as the 4cyl?

Really fun would be a 15 inch xr2
With a sportmaster with 1.62 gears

Not sure about the race version of the XR2, but this is what is listed for the regular one Mercury produced only a few years, and the 115 4 cyl:

XR2 (2.0L V6):
1985 - 385lbs
1986 - 375
1987 - 378

115 (4 cyl) (I skipped a few):
1989 - 340
1990 - 326
1991 - 326
1992 - 315
1993 - 315
1994 - 315
1995 - 348
1996 - 368
1997 - 348
1998 – 348
2000 – 347
2003 – 348
2005 – 348

So it can vary by year. Hope this helps.

They got a very different XR2 in Europe. 200 HP at 7000 rpm, CLE gearcase. ‘Our’ XR2 was a strong 150 intended for bass boats, and heavier.

That's confusing... so it would seem the I4 is a closer comparison to our XR2 then the European race XR2. So which one was he asking about originally?

He shows as from the Netherlands, so my assumption is the Euro XR2

Oh that does have to be the racing one, not our US standard one that I gave you weights on. If you can give me a model year I can check to see if it's listed.
